Psalms 27:10: A Father’s Day Prayer for the Fatherless

Holding on to Psalms 27:10 My Experience with Fatherlessness  Psalms 27:10 is a scripture that comes to mind every year around this time. The reason is that Father’s Day occurs on the third Sunday in June. Honestly, this is a bittersweet day for me. On one hand, I get to celebrate the men who make an effort to be present in their child or children’s lives. At the same time, it’s a difficult day because I do not have a... Read more

Asking God: What are 5 Requests Every Leader Should Make?

      Asking God for What You Need Prayer is Pointless without Your Request Today, asking God for what we need will be the concluding theme of my series on prayer.  So far, the National Day of Prayer has been centered on adoration, honest confessions, and thanksgiving. While these elements are essential, prayer becomes an incomplete discipline if we do not make our request plain and known.  But why would someone choose not to ask God for what they... Read more

Thanking God: 4 Ways to Create a Heart of Gratitude

Last updated on: May 21, 2025 at 8:57 am   By Electi A Deo

Thanking God after an Honest Confession Once Guilty, Now Grateful!  Do you spend time thanking God during prayer? My curiosity compels me to ask this question, as I wonder how many people had a similar upbringing to mine. Thanking God is a core principle my mother instilled in me by making me say grace before each meal.  God is great and he’s good! And we thank him for our food. By his hands, we all are fed; give us, Lord,... Read more

Honest Confession: What are the Benefits of Admitting Sin?

From Adoration to Honest Confession  This is Awkward  Did you know that making an honest confession about your sins is crucial to prayer? This question arises as my previous article highlights the importance of adoring God before making requests.  While offering adoration to God may require an adjustment, people usually embrace this practice, understanding that he deserves praise. After all, he is the holy creator who supplies our needs. Yet, many petitioners (including myself) feel awkward confessing their sins to... Read more

Adoring God: 5 Ways to Incorporate Worship in Your Prayers

Last updated on: May 8, 2025 at 3:46 pm   By Electi A Deo

0 Comments

Introduction Misunderstanding Prayer  Did you know that adoring God with worship is an essential part of prayer? This question comes to mind after realizing I have been approaching it incorrectly for many years. Instead of adoring God as Lord, I would make requests and say thank you for a few blessings. Unfortunately, after expressing gratitude, I would continue my day without “ascribing God the glory due his name.”   My petitions indicated that I lacked the spiritual maturity to understand what... Read more

Introduction  Enthusiastic About National Day of Prayer  National Day of Prayer occurs on Thursday, May 1, 2025. The 2025 theme verse is Romans 15:13. Romans 15:13 mentions having joy and peace through trusting God, so you overflow with hope from the Holy Spirit. This day brings me joy because I know the power of prayer.

Jrue Holiday, Celtics Guard and A Selfless Burden Bearer

  Introduction  Paying Homage to Jrue Holiday  The Boston Celtics’ playoff run will start on Sunday, April 20, making this a great time to highlight Jrue Holiday. Normally, I don’t acknowledge anything good the Boston Celtics do because I am a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan. Despite being a rival on the hardwood, Jrue Holiday’s faith in Jesus Christ makes him a brother off the court. And this brother has a phenomenal story of family, faith, and burden-bearing selflessness that... Read more
